It tells the story of Max Fischer who cannot remember anything from his life before the concentration camp. The only thing that remains in his thoughts is a tormenting, crazed laugh.

The former actress in Berlin seems set on taking care of Max, but there's something she's too embarrassed or scared to tell him. How she got rich, how she stayed alive, and about her son… The crazed laugh in Max's head is the key to unlocking his forgotten past, as he discovers as his memories return. Max decides to investigate its origins while Alexandra promises to shield him from the terrible secrets it holds. They learn from one another the meaning of courage, love, and hope, as well as the ultimate secret of ‘the keeper of the laugh,’ via their shared hunger for life…
